Defence Vehicle Disposals - 2013 onwards

[armyuggles]

is this model fitted with air con ?. the picture of the engine bay shows a a/c compressor.

So is anybody bidding on IPV 7 ??

This vehicle does have A/C fitted, although I suspect the new owner will soon be familiar fitting new fanbelts as the pulleys are badly out of alignment and will throw belts readily. The plumbing for the A/C in the rear body is exposed and may not be "Family friendly".

the fans in the back in photo 3 are very close to the fan I have in my wood heater im thinking they would be the same lol

I decided to have a dabble with the auction today and finished up scoring 48 964 an FFR with a devil riding a cannon on the doors. Anyone know what that is for? Pheeny would you be able to put 48 964 on my list thanks.
 I'll pick it up on Monday and drive back to Kal hopefully with no dramas

Your truck also has a unit tac of 42 makes it 105 field battery

Thanks for that info. One of the guys at our depot is Kal is a Bombardier, he will be suitably impressed.

It's not a devil.
Google"Where the wild things are"
42 is an arty TAC  but not sure about 105 FB.
I have seen that unofficial door logo before but can't place.

[THE BOOGER]

42 is listed as 105FB on the REMLR website looks like a Tassie devil to me

After a not uneventful trip 48 964 is now residing in Kalgoorlie. I've learn't quite a lot about the vehicle and the bidding process so when I go after the next one I hope to do well. This FFR drives beautifully considering I drove it out of the Minto yard and for 3400 K's almost non stop.

  not uneventful   

Hope all went well, I figure to negetives makes a positive??

Only problem was 2 blowouts due to the tubes rather than the tyres. The tubes on the left side were in poor condition. The lvehicle had been sitting for 2 years and I guess the sunny side copped a lot of heating and cooling.
They blew near Nullarbor and east of Madura resulting in the other half driving 800 K's to bring a couple of spares and me having a 24 hour camp out

I think you owe the other half big time!

good to hear mechanically sound only tube problem.

There will be a cost. Just buying it blew the brownie points. The radio batteries were still in place and one is charging at present. All the 24 volt system is in place so I will put the rest of the gear in including 77 sets and antennae

Hi there

It is some times better to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission.......

It works some times.

I have just passed another 110 in Kalgoorlie, a GS. I'll have to check if he is an REMLR member.
